Chapter 27 - Truth behind the schemes of Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness!

(Hollow Bastion – Postern)

The Heaven Gateway escorted the group back to the Hollow Bastion as Taiyo and others arrived at the Postern. They turned back to Guan Yu.

"Be safe. The dangerous trials were much difficult to challenge. Farewell, heroes." Guan Yu replied.

"Take care, Guan Yu." Mario said.

"See you sooner." Natus told him.

Guan Yu nodded in response as he utterly summoned the Heaven Gateway to transport himself back to Heaven.

"Well, we're back here before." Yixato replied.

"Since we know Votus is Sun Wukong's descendant, he was on our team, and we need to help him get his morpher back before Mesogog will come to us again." Taiyo said.

"And what are the Keyblade Rangers? Mario has mentioned them. We didn't know about them." Sasuke replied.

"The Keyblade Rangers weren't only the Power Rangers, but they are doing their goals to save countless worlds including ours. All of you know Taiyo is one of them too." Tommy answered.

"He is another ranger? Congrats!" Keno exclaimed.

"So if Makaque is one of the Keyblade Rangers, that's makes three of them. And who were the two others?" Chopsuey asked.

"We don't know yet." Taiyo replied before asking Tommy. "And did you think Tsuki will become the Keyblade Ranger as well?"

"I'm not so sure but yeah, she will get a better chance to become one of them." Tommy said. "And I had someone who is the last Keyblade Ranger."

"Who is the last ranger?" Atsuko asked.

"Her name is Venus De Milo." Tommy responded.

"Venus De Milo? Is it named after Leonardo da Vinci's woman painting?" Keno asked.

"Yes. However, she doesn't tell us her name. Venus said she lost some of her memories when she appeared in Angel Grove where she met one of my oldest friends, Jason Lee Scott, the Mighty Morphin' Red Ranger." Tommy answered.

"Which means they are five rangers now including Taiyo." Mario spoked. "Would she able to help us?"

"Sorry. I haven't seen her for a long time." Tommy replied. "Maybe she was doing her own mission."

"Was she alone?" Luigi asked.

"She is not always alone. Jason will look after her, I am assumed she will be just fine for now." Tommy said.

"Heck yeah! There would be five of us to take Mesogog down." Votus triumphed.

"You haven't got the morpher just yet." Keno suggested.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. I must have forgot I didn't have one." Votus replied.

Luigi scoffed, rolling his eyes in response.

"I am sure we will meet her." Blanca said.

"Then she can come to us for our aid." Sean replied.

"Let's hope so." Chopsuey nodded.

"I am Trug." Trug agreed.

"Speaking of hope, we must go back to Ansem's computer room right away." Mario replied.

"We make sure Leon knows what he's doing." Yoshi murmured.

"And he is trying his best to get Sora, Donald and Goofy out from the computer in no time." Utopia pointed out.

Taiyo and others headed back to the castle's passageway, entering through the corridors.

(Ansem's Study)

When they are about to go through the computer room, they saw Max Goof and Sylvia who were on the ground, reading some notes that Ansem the Wise left them while he was gone for unknown reasons.

"Max. Sylvia. You two are here?" Taiyo asked.

"Oh hey, guys. I see you brought the company here, we're happy to help." Max smiled.

"We don't have a time for introductions yet. And what are these notes?" Mario questioned.

"Those are Ansem's notes. They probably have the clues about his whereabouts or research but still, I couldn't find the answer." Sylvia murmured.

"So what about Sora, Donald and Goofy?" Geno asked. "Are they out?"

"No. Leon was trying his best to get them out while we need our time to look for any clue on the notes. I hope there is the password to get access in Ansem's files." Max said.

Mario then noticed something when he saw the old notebook that belonged to Ansem the Wise.

"Um, guys? Look what I found. The old notebook." Mario replied, caught everyone's attention to gaze at him. "Ansem the Wise must have left this. It will tell us about his life."

"Well, read what he says in the book." Verta replied.

Mario flipped the few pages until something fell off from the notebook. The group turned down to see a photo on the floor as he picked it up and sees Ansem the Wise was standing in pride along with his seven apprentices before showing it to the others.

"It's the photo of Ansem and his pupils. Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus and Ienzo." Mario replied.

"Wait a minute. There's Xehanort was on the right side of them." Utopia said, pointing his left hoof at Xehanort.

"Yeah. He looks the same as his portrait." Atsuko said, gazing back at Xehanort's painting.

"Do you know what happened to his pupils?" Sylvia asked.

"I don't know. Me and Mickey were on the conservation with Master Ansem before we left." Mario replied, putting it back into his overalls right pocket.

"You know about Ansem the Wise?" Verta asked.

"Of course! Mickey talked about an old friend to me. He is such a wiser man." Mario said.

Tommy takes the notebook from Mario before turning the pages until he found the important details.

"Here it is. The first entry written. A long years I have spent in my home, I started to venture myself into another part of my world, looking for any places I never encountered. In that moment of my search, I caught the sight of the city called Donghai. It filled with Chinese people and A city without rivers and lakes but with the full limited water from the water station. I have met the mayor of Donghai City who was kind enough to let me stay his place. He and I were close to be old friends, his name is Mayor Qingshui. He has knowledge about curious folklores of the Chinese myths. He mentioned about the four Dragon Kings were ruled over their lands and represented the four seas which is North, South, West, and East. One of the most powerful Dragon Clan was the East Sea leaded by Ao Guang the Dragon King. In the most part of his interesting tale, he mentioned about the seven magical orbs called the Dragon Balls." Tommy said.

"The Dragon Balls?" Everyone asked together.

"Dragon Balls?" Yixato asked. "That's sound more fascinating."

"I haven't heard about the Dragon Balls." Blanca replied.

"Me too. The Dragon Balls were intriguing me." Natus uttered.

"Did you think anyone believe they were existing?" Sylvia asked.

"Actually, I think I must hear the story from my grandpa." Sean murmured.

"You know about the Dragon Balls?" Votus asked.

"Yup. My grandpa Gohan telling me the story about the Dragon Balls. When the four dragons were quarreling over against their supreme reign until their father Ao Longwang the First Dragon King who trying to stop their argument and helping them to discover their dragon natures. He helped them to improve their virtuous will to each of their respective seas. Once they fulfilled their divine duties, Ao Longwang then give their blessing to them to be the Dragon Kings before the ceremony was over, their ethereal energies were drawn out from their bodies and created the seven orbs, the Dragon Balls. The Dragon Balls were powerful magic balls to summon forth of the dragon spirit called Shenron and granted only one wish. Ao Guang then made a wish by creating the four lands to rule over them as the Ao Longwang agreed to his son's wish and the divine dragon splits into seven Dragon Balls as they are scattering them over the four lands. After that, the four Dragon Kings made their purpose to made peace each other and brings prosperity throughout the lands under the order of the Jade Emperor himself." Sean explained.

"Shenron can grant a single wish?" Atsuko asked.

"That's awesome!" Keno replied.

"It is curious to know about the Dragon Balls. Any wish would be granted whatever we want." Sasuke replied.

"I'm really looking forward to make a wish to be the rich guy in the galaxy." Chopsuey smirked.

"Chopsuey. Don't even think about the selfish wish." Yixato scolded.

"I was just imagining myself." Chopsuey shrugged.

"Yeah, just like the Spirit Stars. But we still had three of them." Luigi said.

"I love to make a wish. I'll think about it." Max uttered.

"Is there anything else on this book?" Geno asked.

"Yes. It still been written, I'm moving on." Tommy replied, flipped the next page, and read it.

"In the few months, Qingshui took me to the destructed city called Shura where the Chinese demons and humans fought over their territories. They can't find the true meaning of peace, why weren't they stopped fighting one another? Nevertheless, he takes me to see the person I never knew him or met. The man who called himself Mortu, he is the superhuman experimented by the aliens called themselves the Utrom, the peaceful alien race and shared the relationships with Zenrais before the Kraang brainwashed all of the Utroms to raise the army to infiltrate the Earth many years ago. The name given to the man is backwards, it seems like the codeword." Tommy replied.

From Tommy's team, they have been shocked to find out about the little details about Mortu and the Utroms. They are now knowing why the Kraang was created before enslaving the Utroms.

"Hold on a moment! Mortu does have the backward name. It makes sense! That why Kraang captured the Utroms before manipulating them to build the hivemind army. A really ridiculous hivemind if I said that!" Sasuke retorted.

"Looks like we finally find out the truth behind the Kraang." Kenji replied, crossed his arms.

"We actually met Mortu a long time ago." Geno replied.

"Wait, you met Mortu? Seriously?" Kenji asked.

"Yeah, first time we saw him in the Equestria. Tough-looking guy, needed to save lives." Utopia murmured.

"What did he tell you? Any details?" Kenji asked.

"We never heard of him since we saved the Equestria. Mortu kept the Tetrahedron safe from the Dark Order, he can't let it falls into the wrong hands." Mario replied.

"Did you say the Tetrahedron?" Snow Fang questioned.

"Yeah. We learned that Tetrahedron has confined the Destiny Orb. Its powerful energy was really massive above any others, Mortu even used it to fix my Stardash Ship." Mario answered.

"Wow, that's really makes sense. It what it does with Dad's Anti-Gravitational SUV and opening the portal." Sasuke explained.

"Whoa! It can do that too?" Yoshi asked, felt surprised.

"Hmm, fascinating. The source of the Tetrahedron can be able to create the spatial-dimensional portal to open between the worlds." Geno emphasized.

"Can you believe that?" Sean asked with Blanca.

"Yes. I guess it was a miracle to hear about it." Blanca responded.

"Another Destiny Orb was found as well. Not bad." Verta said.

Tommy told the group. "Can we get on the right track on Ansem's notebook."

Having snapped out of their trances, Tommy read back at the notebook.

"Afterwards, I was intrigued with such fascinations of the Utrom race and others. On my way to my home, I caught the familiar figures in my sight. One of them was named Hou Yi, the Sun God and his wife Chang'e, the Moon Goddess. They came to warn me about Xehanort's master plan before Terra, Ventus and Aqua came to challenge the dreaded dark Keyblade Master. In my mind, I now understand the natural balance of the Multiverse between Light, Darkness, Creation and Destruction. I give many tasks to my apprentices to gather any information how the Multiverse was born but apparently, they didn't find the answers. A few days later, I found a man with the white hair lying on the ground, so I took him in care before he muttered his name I recognized, Xehanort! I knew it was him, but he reminded me of someone who visits me in the first place, and I think it was Terra. I do know what going on between them, but I have to speak nothing about him and kept him away from the others. I don't let him interfere with my research and my apprentices."

Tommy flipped the last page, but it ran out of pages, indicating it was his final entry.

"That's it, the final entry. Done." Tommy replied, closed the notebook before giving it to Max.

"Wow, that is a lot of details in the book. It doesn't say about the password, but this should come in handy with everyone." Max murmured.

"Terra is Xehanort? What happened to them?" Luigi asked. "Mario, did you remember?"

"I don't know. I haven't met Xehanort in the look of Terra. That why I need to find out what happen to those two." Mario replied.

Taiyo gasped in agony as he held his hands onto his head, stepping away from the group.

"Taiyo?" Yixato wondered.

"Hey, are you alright?" Tommy asked.

Taiyo closed his eyes before concentrating on his mind, unlocking the part of his memory.

(Taiyo's Flashback)

Young Taiyo walked down the stairs of the palace and opened the doors, taking a look outside before he saw Terra and Master Eraqus engaged in an irresponsible fight. He was at a loss but felt uttered shock to see his father tried to kill him before they charged towards finishing each other off.

"Stop! Enough!" Young Taiyo yelled, running towards them, and held out his hands between Terra and Eraqus.

Master Eraqus gasped in complete stagger before looking down at his Master's Keeper, realizing his anger clouded his mind and seen the error on judgment.

"Taiyo…" Eraqus sighed, lowering his Keyblade down as Terra has a regrettable expression on his face.

The Keyblade Master dropped the Master's Keeper to the ground before succumbing the little boy in his arms softly and sniffed as the tears ran down from his eyes.

"Master, what have I done? Master… we just… wanted to keep Ven safe." Terra replied.

"No, you were right." Master Eraqus said solemnly, gently pushed his son away, and gazed at Terra, before giving the guilty and grief response to him.

"I failed you, Terra. Perhaps I've no one to blame but myself for the darkness inside you both. And now I've done worse, raised my Keyblade against you and Ventus. My own heart is darkness!"

Master Eraqus sensed someone behind them who was familiar with them until he saw Master Xehanort slightly froze in restrain when he held his Gazing Eye upwardly.

"Master Xehanort?" Terra puzzled.

Young Taiyo was shocked to see Master Xehanort who tried to kill Master Eraqus, but he resisted of control that binds him by the dark magic.

"Uncle Xehanort!" Young Taiyo said.

"Is this what you're doing?" Master Eraqus asked. "What have you done?"

Master Xehanort tried his best to control his body, holding his right arm with his left hand.

"In my travels to many worlds, I have found a way to control my own darkness before it was taking over me. I had no choice but to help the man who knew the answer."

"What? Who did this to you?" Master Eraqus was shocked.

"What are you talking about, Master Xehanort? Who's responsible for this?!" Terra asked.

"The man who appeared to be Gerudo from the Hyrule where I met him. His name is Ganon. He is trying to use me as the puppet to bring every destruction to the Multiverse and the part of my plan to forge the χ-blade for himself. I am so sorry for what I have committed." Master Xehanort replied, bringing utter horror upon Master Eraqus, Terra, and Young Taiyo.

"Xehanort. All this time I thought you were doing something far worse than this. Then let me help you." Master Eraqus replied.

"I am not asking for your help, Eraqus. It is best for your son that why Ganon need to spare me." Master Xehanort grunted.

(Ansem's Study)

"Taiyo!" Yixato called out to him who comes back to his senses before turning to him.

"What?" Taiyo asked.

"Are you feeling alright?" Luigi asked.

"Yeah. The memories are coming back to me." Taiyo responded.

"We will continue to your important things later. There's your friends who were waiting right here." Max said, turning back to Sora, Donald, and Goofy who were aside in the group along with Leon.

Taiyo sighed in relief happily, rushing towards him and embraced him in a big hug.

"Taiyo! We're expecting you and guys were still here." Sora smirked. "What happened to you back there? Did you leave?"

"It's a long story. When did this happen?" Taiyo asked, pulling away from Sora.

"Me and my buddies were having some help from the friend on the other side when we are trapped into the computer. It is another world." Sora answered.

"I see. Did you find the password?" Mario asked.

"I think so. It's DTD. The Door to Darkness. It was written on the wall." Sora said, pointing back at the hidden diagram imprinted on the wall.

"Now we use the password to get into Ansem's database." Leon said.

"I have told everything about Tommy, Kenji, Sasuke, Atsuko, Keno and Snow Fang about their current events. Even about me that I was related to Stitch." Natus told him.

"We did make the introductions to Tommy and his team. They are also aware of the World Order and helped us to take on the bad guys." Goofy confirmed.

"Now since they're here. We're glad to have them on our side." Donald added.

Keno walked behind them and hugged the two toon characters.

"You guys are the best characters." Keno excited.

"You could say that, you crazy fanboy. And you better watch yourself." Donald muttered.

Some of the others chuckled at them.

"Dude, Keno. Try control your self-restraint." Chopsuey sighed.

"I am Trug." Trug pointed out.

"Say, fellas, did somebody mention the Door To Darkness?" Someone asked.

Taiyo, Sora, and the gang turn around and saw Mickey standing by the door with his hood up dressed in a black coat similar to Organization XIII.

"Your Majesty!" Sora, Donald, Goofy, Max, and Sylvia were surprised in unison.

"Mickey!" Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Geno replied in unison.

Mickey placed his finger to his lips, shushing the group. He looked into the hallway, then quickly closed the door. Mickey takes off his hood while Donald rushes to hug him, then Goofy picked them both up. Mario walked up to see Mickey who turned to him.

"Mario! Been a long time, haven't we?" Mickey said.

"And you haven't changed a bit like you wearing your black coat." Mario chuckled.

"Hi, Mickey. It's me, Max." Max smiled.

"Max! Oh boy, it's great to see you're here." Mickey said.

"Same with me." Sylvia added.

"Long time no see!" Sora shouted.

"Shh! The Organization might be listening!" Mickey warned, keeping him down.

Goofy set Mickey and Donald down on the floor. Donald hugged Mickey one more time before Mickey pushed him away and glanced left and right.

"You mentioned the Door To Darkness?" Mickey asked.

"Uh, yes, sir! Ya see, we're lookin' for the secret password." Goofy answered.

"Password?" Mickey asked.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy sighed.

"You want us to say something specific?" Chopsuey deadpanned.

"Oh, I guess you mean like a code." Mickey said.

Leon smiled in remarkable response.

"Well, the Door To Darkness can only be opened by the seven princesses. There's Snow White, Jasmine, and Belle..." Mickey spoked.

"Of course..." Leon muttered, walking back into the computer room.

"What're you trying to do?" Mickey asked.

"With that password, we can get access to Ansem's research data." Sora answered.

"So that means you might be able to find out where he is!" Mickey replied.

"Stop jokin' around, Your Majesty. We've already defeated Ansem. Didn't you know that?" Sora asked.

"For the last time, the other guy took a name from Master Ansem the Wise. He is the imposter after all, so it was not him." Yoshi muttered.

"But I still don't get it. What makes you think that other guy took the name from Ansem?" Sora said.

Mickey crossed his arms. "Looks like I've got a lot of explainin' to do."

"We're listening, Your Majesty!" Donald replied.

Leon returned back into the room.

"Okay... but first, I've got a question..." Sora said.

"Hey, isn't Tron waiting for you guys?" Leon asked.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy dumbfoundedly turned from Leon to the King, and back again.

"Don't worry, I'm not goin' anywhere. If those Heartless attack, I'll stand and fight with everybody here." Mickey assured.

"Yeah... we will, too." Sora added.

"Then let's talk more later." Mickey said.

"That's a promise!" Donald replied.

"I'll see ya when you get back." Mickey murmured.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy nodded before getting back into Ansem's Computer Room. They went back into the computer and accessed the transfer system for themselves.

While Sora, Donald, and Goofy worked on getting the password to Tron, Taiyo and his group stayed with King Mickey.

"So, I guess you must be Taiyo, right?" Mickey asked.

"Yeah. You heard about me?" Taiyo asked.

"Mmm-hmm. Fusoya told me all about you and your adventures with your companions." Mickey affirmed.

"You know my grandfather?" Taiyo asked.

"Yup. He said to me you were the greatest Keyblade wielder like Sora. Yixato is your Nobody, but I know he is not one of the enemies. Plus, I came to get to know about these friends of yours." Mickey said.

Mario walked up to Luigi, Yoshi, and Geno. "I know you have met Luigi and Yoshi, but you haven't met Geno. You remembered him before, way back in the old days."

"Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty." Geno responded gently.

"Thank you. But any friend of Mario is a friend of mine, please call me Mickey." Mickey replied.

"Yes. I will call your name next time." Geno replied.

"It's been an honor. My name is Utopia Magus from Equestria." Utopia introduced himself.

"Utopia Magus? Oh yeah, Celestia has told me all about you. And look at you, the Alicorn Prince of Justice. Boy, I am really loved to go to the Equestria and to see your new friends." Mickey replied.

"Me too. I missed them, haven't I?" Utopia asked.

"Very nice." Mickey nodded.

"I am Votus by the way. I guess I was another Keyblade wielder." Votus said.

"No kidding. You're unusually strange fellow but cool." Mickey chuckled before turning to Tommy and Tang Hiroshi's team. "Who are you guys?"

"Tommy Oliver, originally from the Power Rangers' team and I was the leader." Tommy answered.

"We're the Tang Hiroshi's team and some of us were the ninjas which we are called ourselves the Zenrai Ninjas." Kenji answered.

"And two of us were the mutants, got ourselves mutated. My name is Raccoonus, and this is Snow Fang." Raccoonus said.

"Hello, Mickey." Snow Fang bowed to him. "It's please to make your acquaintance."

"That's great. And no need for bowing to me." Mickey said.

"Of course." Snow Fang affirmed, standing up.

"You already know my name. But you didn't know my teammates." Yixato spoke to him before gesturing to Blanca, Verta, Sean Xu, Chopsuey, and Trug.

"There's Blanca, Verta, Sean Xu, Chopsuey and…" He's going to finish the last member's name, but Trug interrupted him.

"Trug." Trug said.

"Yeah, he's Trug." Yixato deadpanned.

"Well, it was real nice meeting you all. What's the catch with the whole team?" Mickey asked.

"We just be prepared for Mesogog." Atsuko answered.

"Mesogog? Who's that?" Mickey asked.

"A long story but he will come back to destroy us." Mario said. "That is why Tommy and others are here to help us to stop him."

"And adding to that, we have Votus who is the Monkey King's descendant to help us out." Keno murmured.

Mickey has caught the surprise on his look before questioning. "Whoa, hold on a minute! Did you say Votus is the Monkey King?"

"Yeah. We got ourselves meeting with the Jade Emperor and Guan Yu, giving us the historical lessons." Keno said.

"Not to mention we heard some of the Chinese gods were existed." Luigi added.

"Shut up!" Mario shouted at his brother before turning to Mickey. "I know it is really time to tell you about the importance of circumstances."

"Ah, no. No need, I was curious with the Chinese deities but let's change the subject. Do you have anything about Ansem before I have to go?" Mickey asked.

"Oh yeah. I hold on this for you, it's his notebook." Max said, handing Ansem's notebook to the toon king.

"Thank you, Maxie. That's what I want to look for the information but I'm gonna go check how things are in town." Mickey said.

"Ok. We'll wait right here." Taiyo replied.

Mickey smiled and nodded before heading out, leaving the group.

"So now what?" Sylvia asked.

"How about we can talk things out, so we use our time when Sora, Donald and Goofy got back? We even told everything all about our worlds and things." Sasuke suggested.

The others are agreeing with him before any one of them speaks.

Several minutes later…

Taiyo would start his discussion first about the beginning of his journey to venture into all the universes and defend against the dark forces of evil and destruction including Heartless, Snide, Wrathnar, Dark Predator, Ghirahim, Zant, Tenebris, Lord Fawful, Midbus, and others. Since he's already been in many worlds, Taiyo shared his experiences about his mother, Rosalina who watched all over him with his friends and guided him.

Mario explained how he obtained his Keyblade under Rosalina's training before mentioned that he was on the full power when fighting his arch-nemesis Bowser in Snide's fortress, proving to be the second strongest Keyblade wielder.

Utopia was next to explain about his life, he told about the Equestria is the world of ponies and other magical creatures lived amongst them. The four alicorns were ruled together harmoniously, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle. He mentioned about Twilight Sparkle is the Princess of Friendship who happened to be Celestia's faithful student and spreads the Magic of Friendship along with her Mane Five and Spike. As for himself, he becomes the Alicorn Prince of Justice to protect many lands of Equestria and his fellow warriors unite to defeat the evil forces including the Storm King, Zaros, and Lord Vastatus.

Atsuko and Kenji were explaining from the beginning that their team leader Tang Hiroshi who is born of the Zenrai warrior's bloodline from his father Tang Honda and his Ki powers were highly efficient since Natus hasn't about the Zenrais before. They also told the rival ninja clan called the Foot led by the Shredder, Oroku Saki and his mutant henchmen, have formed the alliance with the Kraang which led to the Kraang won and take over the New York City before the heroes separated from mutant ninja turtles along with April and Casey.

Snow Fang already knew Mortu whom he trained him alongside with his partner, Raccoonus and Mortu dispatched him to help his team. Snow Fang even talked about his bitter rivalry with Tiger Claw.

Tommy was explaining about the legendary Power Rangers and their dimensions to the others minus Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Yixato, Atsuko, Kenji, Sasuke, Keno, and Snow Fang since they already know the facts of the Rangers.

From Yixato's group, Blanca and Verta told about their true stories of themselves and their mother Mu-Qin. After 500 years of cultivation, Blanca decided to find Xu Xian who was previously reincarnated as Xu Xuan. Before she is about to get married to him, a Buddhist monk named Fahai appeared at the wedding, he exposed her true form by forcing her to drink the realgar wine and Xu Xian died of a heart attack. Sean Xu also did have some of his past life memories to remember before chuckled in amusement saying that he almost died of a heart attack and telling the group should have seen his shocked face which made others laughed hysterically as Blanca giggled in response and Verta sighed with irritation look. Moving on when Blanca mentioned she and Verta were going to use their magic on the river to flood him, but Fahai was proving himself as a powerful monk and imprisoned Blanca into Leifeng Pagoda spell that trapped his mystical scroll. Verta told them that she wasn't strong enough to save her sister and defeat Fahai, so she and her mother escaped from them. They moved into Zhenjiang where they met another Buddhist monk, but the monk isn't prejudiced against the demons and told his name was Ji Gong, the Mad Monk and before offering their help to defeat Fahai who turned out to be the terrapin spirit, so he disguised as the monk to fool the other monks thinking the snake demons are the enemies. Soon before they plotted the plan, Fahai finds them on the temple, but Ji Gong sets him a trap by using his Taoist magical arts to bind him and removed his disguise to reveal his demon form. Three of them together have perished the terrapin spirit and freed Blanca from the mystical scroll that is belonging to Heaven. In the end, Xu Xian was revived by Mu-Qin as the wedding still continued which Blanca and Xu Xian got married, having the baby, and lived peacefully.

Chopsuey is telling his story about his creator, Dr. Jumba Jookiba was creating the 625 genetic alien experiments as he is one of them being mischievous just like Stitch and he made an escape from his lab, trying to get away from him and expressed his interest in capturing the bounties before he met Trug. He also said that his life was changed everything, so he took care of him as the partner and hiding from the citizens of Planet Turo which nobody can accept. After he saved many lives on the other planet, Grand Councilwoman announced to let Chopsuey joined in the Galactic Armada, but he declined it, and wherever he goes any planet that needed to be saved.

And finally, Votus talked about his old days in his adventures with Senris.

"Back in the Pentagram City, we faced off against Sir Pentious who is attempting to steal the Demon Booster Arm and we able to defeat him at the top of the radio tower. The demon people were gladly accepting us as the new guests and of course, heroes." Votus murmured.

"I never imagined the way like this. All of us have shared in our different commons." Luigi said.

"Like Hiroshi and his friends were taking out the Foot Ninjas, mutants, and the Kraang. Snow Fang and Raccoonus were trained by Mortu as well." Utopia spoked.

"I heard the fact from my mother that those Hellish Demons were almost different than the Chinese ones and they didn't know how to cultivate their spirits at will." Verta murmured.

"I haven't known everything in the Equestria, it has ponies and magical creatures. I still need to learn more about the Magic of Friendship." Sylvia said.

"The Power Rangers were the coolest team in their dimensions, and they are defeating many monsters in every evil legion. I wished I gotta meet them!" Max replied.

"So do I." Keno spoked.

"Some of you have a quite different journeys and crossed our own paths. It is our reason we should shared the connections from the others." Blanca murmured.

"Blanca's right. I have no idea what you guys been through. Me and Kenji are the fan of the anime shows when Goku, Luffy and Naruto entered the tournament along with the other characters. I already recorded our conversation." Sasuke replied, holding up his iPhone and touch the stop button to end the recording video of the group's conversation.

"Seriously? You recorded our conversation on your phone?" Taiyo asked with an indignant expression.

"It's the smartphone, it is how the people can download the apps, taking the photos and connected to the Wi-Fi. In case, we don't have to when using on the computers or cameras." Sasuke complied.

Max leaned forward to Sasuke and sees the iPhone behind his left shoulder with an awed look.

"Nice tech, not bad."

"It is curious technology. Is like the Equestria never made any brand techs." Utopia murmured.

"So the smartphones makes people stupid?" Chopsuey asked.

"Umm… No. It is sort of learning how to use it and sometimes people have forgot the contact numbers, it is a less confusion." Sasuke corrected.

"Sasuke, please. You should stop talking about the phone. We have important things to do." Tommy replied as Sasuke turned off his smartphone and puts it away into the right pocket of his outfit.

"With Sora, Donald and Goofy went back to the digital world again, Mesogog was still hunting us down. It could be only chance to beat him." Taiyo replied.

"I know that. We talked in the conversation; it wasn't last long than the few minutes." Mario spoked.

"Should we go back to check on the monitor?" Luigi asked.

"Maybe. Or we can wait for Mickey until he's returned." Mario said.

The door swung open as Mickey showed up in the room.

"Hey, fellas! You're all still here. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting." Mickey said.

"That's okay, buddy. We talked a lot of stuff we've been through." Mario replied.

"Mickey." Max said, walking up to the toon king. "Those guys talked about their worlds, and I am really excited to see what's out there."

"Now, now, Maxie. We'll talked after this." Mickey assured.

"So how did you go? Finished reading the Ansem's journal?" Yoshi asked.

"I did when I was outside, goes through the pages that made me struck into my interests. But I didn't find the answers about the Organization XIII or anything else." Mickey murmured.

"We just wonder if we head back to the computer room. Should we go?" Sylvia questioned.

"Wanna go back to check to see Sora, Donald and Goofy? I'm sure they will be here in no time." Mickey said.

"They're probably on their way back once they find the password for the research." Yixato replied.

(Ansem's Study – Computer Room)

They were on their way to the entrance of Ansem's computer room and saw Sora was back along with Donald and Goofy.

"Well, I see ya got things workin'!" Mickey called out to them.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy turned around and sees Mickey, Taiyo, Yixato, and the group.

"Your Majesty!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy exclaimed in unison.

Mickey puts a finger up to his lips, shushing them, and walked over to the three travelers.

"Good goin'. The computer should tell us the things we need to know." Mickey said.

"But it keeps on sayin' the data inside's all ker-skuffled." Goofy said.

"And I see you have found the guy in the image we are looking for." Mario replied, looking at the elderly blond man with a red scarf.

Mickey jumped up in surprise upon seeing the image of a man.

"Ansem the Wise!" Mickey exclaimed.

Sora and his gang looked at each other with confused looks.

"Come on, are you teasing us?" Sora asked.

"Did you forget what Ansem looked like, Your Majesty?" Donald asked.

"Of course, I do! And this is him! I'm positive!" Mickey replied.

Sora grabbed Mickey by his hand. "Excuse me? Could you come this way, please?"

Sora dragged Mickey into Ansem's Study with Donald and Goofy.

"Look like those three doesn't have a clue of the wrong person who bared the same name from the Heartless." Geno scoffed.

"Yeah, it happens all the time." Max sighed.

"Me too." Sylvia murmured.

"I am Trug." Trug annoyed.

"Guess we head back then." Taiyo said. "Mickey can explain about the real Ansem to get the senses out of their heads."

(Ansem's Study)

They are following behind them to go back to the study. Sora gestured to Mickey the large portrait of Ansem leaned against the wall.

"Look, this is Ansem. You know, the guy we all worked reeeally hard to defeat?" Sora explained.

"Oh, that's right. I never finished explaining." Mickey spoked.

"What?" Donald asked.

"Well, the man in the picture is definitely the one who tried to take over Kingdom Hearts, the one you fellas defeated." Mickey explained.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy have flashbacks of their confrontation with Ansem.

"But what you actually fought was his Heartless. Ya see, he wasn't really Ansem. He just went around telling everybody that he was." Mickey explained.

"Yep, he is definitely the imposter." Mario added.

"You mean..." Sora murmured.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy soon understand what Mickey was telling them, and they were shocked.

"Whaaaat?!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy shouted in unison.

"We told you a few times, it is not exactly the guy you are referring to!" Luigi yelled at the last part of the sentence.

"I think we get it, Luigi!" Donald argued back.

"We went through all that trouble to defeat an impostor?" Sora asked.

"Yep. A fake. But he still had to be stopped." Mickey replied.

"I'm kinda confused. If the Ansem we defeated was a fake, then... what happened to the real Ansem?" Goofy asked.

"Welp, that's just what I'm tryin' to figure out. Ansem the Wise should know all about Organization XIII's plans, and what's been happening to the worlds. I'm pretty sure he'll give us some help. Ya know, I came close to finding him once..." Mickey said.

"So do I." Mario replied.

"Don't tell me there's more... I'm lost enough as it is!" Sora muttered.

"Since you, Donald and Goofy fought a Heartless of the imposter, doesn't that mean a Nobody got created too?" Taiyo asked.

"Yup! And that Nobody is the leader of the Organization." Mickey answered.

"Whaaaat?" Sora, Donald, and Goofy exclaimed.

"I know I've met this fake Ansem before, and I've seen the leader of Organization XIII, too. Hmm, kinda felt like bein' around the same fella." Mickey said.

"So, where have you seen this Nobody? You guessed this guy looked familiar to you?" Votus asked.

"Gosh... I can't remember. Ansem the Wise, the real Ansem, must know the imposter's true identity. That's why I've got to find him and ask him about it." Mickey murmured.

Sora stared down the portrait of Ansem, gripping his hand into a fist.

"You...! You started all of this! Because of you, Riku and Kairi..." Sora grunted.

Sora then remembered his question to Mickey.

"Oh! Your Majesty, do you know where Riku is?" Sora asked.

"You got tell us where he is." Taiyo said.

"He's..." Mickey said, looking down to the floor and sighed. "I'm sorry. I can't help."

Sora and Taiyo walked around to face Mickey, but he turned away.

"Really, Your Majesty? Are you sure?" Sora asked.

"I'm sorry, guys." Mickey apologized.

"What about Kairi? Organization XIII's kidnapped her." Mario told him.

Mickey whirled around in shock upon hearing that, turning back to the painting of Ansem. "Oh, no!"

"Sora, Taiyo, Yixato, Donald, Goofy, Mario, Luigi, everyone. I was plannin' to go get help from Ansem the Wise. But now I know I forgot the most important thing. Helping others should always come before asking others for help. We're safe and sound and free to choose! So, there's no reason we shouldn't choose to help our friends." Mickey told them.

They all nodded in agreement, preparing themselves to face Organization XIII and the Dark Order.

"You think it's time to find Riku and Kairi?" Mario questioned.

"Mario. You are one of my true friends, I'll always be on your side. Let's look for Riku and Kairi together." Mickey murmured.

Suddenly, the castle shook violently which stumbled everyone off balance.

"Something attacked from outside!" Yixato shouted.

"It could be Mesogog, Maleficent or evil goons. We can fight them to the end." Kenji replied.

"Sounds like we gotta start by helpin' out here!" Mickey replied.

Mickey ran into the corridor and the three groups were following him out along with Max and Sylvia.


Author Notes: Taiyo and many companions are heading back to Ansem's Study, they found Ansem the Wise's notebook with the old photo of himself and his pupils. Mickey showed up himself, keeping everyone in silent to make sure the members of Organization XIII were here. Upon the shock revelation of that Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness took the name from his master and in the process when he was destroyed by Sora, Donald and Goofy, the Nobody was created is actually the leader of Organization XIII! Then the war of Heartless and Nobodies were starting in the collision of the Hollow Bastion itself! Don't forget to review after reading this!

Also, it is my birthday tonight of July 18th so I posted this chapter.
